During the final Formula One™ race week of the 2015 season, Neuschwansteiner joined forces with the Shangri-La hotel, Qaryat Al Beri to support Make-A-Wish Foundation® UAE.

At a fabulous event, Neuschwansteiner ambassador H.R.H. Prince Leopold of Bavaria was guest of honour and on stage to present the “best dress trophy” whilst Neuschwansteiner was the official welcome drink and beer at the fashion show’s after party at famous restaurant “Pearls and Caviar by Sergi Arola”.

MICHELIN 2-star-chef Sergi was impressed by our Neuschwansteiner and the guests, including Games of Thornes-star Liam Cunningham and other international celebrities seemed to love it.

It was a night of high fashion and serious glamour at the 2nd edition of Fashion Fever Grand Prix™ – an F1™ themed fashion show that was presented by Emirates Motor Company and was held at Shangri-La hotel, Qaryat Al Beri.

The event saw Abu Dhabi’s crème de la crème in attendance including a few members of the royal family, prominent fashion buyers, designers, sports enthusiasts, F1™ personalities, ambassadors, business leaders and fashion media.

It showcased collections designed exclusively for the event by four of the region’s most promising designers.
